Those who are going to be diving into Modern Warfare 2 via PC on its launch will face the same problem as those going into Blizzard's recently released Overwatch 2 - you will need to link a phone number to access the game, and mobile phones with a prepaid plan "may not work"

So you get an achievement on overwatch 2 on Xbox and you get kicked out? This is the second time this has happened to me on ranked. Please fix this because I do not want to be permanently banned

my biggest issue with Overwatch 2 is a few of the DPS ults are way too free; Soldier, reaper and junk can end fights so easily without really any way to mitigate now that there is one less tank and no cc

@EmbracerInvest @FreddInvest That was a trainwreck? I was kinda distracted by the trainwreck that was Overwatch 2 to notice. Maybe everyone else was and THQ can fix it quite like before anyone notices.

@TheLiquorCpt @BlizzardCS This whole launch has been a disaster, first my cosmetics from Overwatch 1 didn’t merge (been playing since 2016). And now once I think I figured out how to properly merge, I can’t even login

@stlcty03 @TheAshenLuca As you can see the community was not happy when they tried to do that **** in Overwatch 2. This problem was designed to combat “smurf” accounts. Not everybody got a prepaid phone 📱 So what you mean to tell me also that “Ricochet” does NOT work? Interesting… Actiblizz 🙄

@Hroldssss @VGC_News Because as we literally just saw with Overwatch 2 not all phone carriers are accepted and even then there’s still massive issues.

@leaky_dot I’ve played it, I think its ok. The gameplay pretty much just feels like overwatch 1. I think there are some balancing issues and some bugs. I think my biggest thing I don’t like is how the microtransactions are like and the battle pass and grinding currency.

@PlayOverwatch Revert all changes you maid to characters when releasing overwatch 2 you just made all the tabks broken as hell and ruined a bunch of fun characters

@Cokeadddict @OW_SVB “the issue is for new players” new players literally have no issue. They got the game for free. Owners of original overwatch can’t play what they paid for and lost access to the ability to earn skins despite paying exactly for that. New players only received and old players didnt

my internets that had that i can’t play a full game of overwatch without lagging/dc’ing, it’s so boring

i think my biggest problem with Overwatch 2 is that i’ve lost hype for the seasonal events it used to be exciting whenever the events came around because i knew i could get new/old skins for free from loot boxes but now they are all locked behind insane paywalls

@PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 is making a nice screen saver on my playstation. So I'm wondering, how much longer will the SMS problem be up for new players ( all 70 million of us ) will I be able to actually play the game and give you money by this year/decade

@OW_SVB The ACTUAL issue is that the model they’re doing is only good in games like fornite. You only have 1 character in fornite, whereas cosmetics in overwatch are divided between 35.

I’ve been wanting to try out OverWatch 2 for a week but have been unable to login to the Blizzard launcher. I keept on getting a generic error code. In the end I figured out that I couldn't log in because I never set my DOB in the account. Would have been nice if it told me.
